Haze disrupts 5 flights at Senai airport
Some flights were diverted to other airports due to poor visibility, while others were forced to delay take-off.
Low visibility due to haze disrupted operations at Senai International Airport in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, on Tuesday morning. Five incoming and outgoing flights were affected, with landing deemed unsafe. Incoming aircraft were diverted to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and Singapore's Changi Airport. Departing flights were also instructed to delay take-offs.
Transport Minister Loke Siew Fook shared the challenges faced, citing poor weather conditions in Johor. His own flight from KLIA to Senai was delayed by nearly two hours due to the hazardous weather. API readings for eight areas in Johor at 1pm ranged from 161 to 189, indicating unhealthy air quality, categorized as between 101 and 200.
